Could Have Been Great

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2003)

This could have been one of those truly scary movies that make you want to sleep with the light on. After watching this movie, I slept just fine...and the light was off. Although this was a good movie, I don't think it was `the scariest movie since The Exorcist.' Hollywood's hype can ruin a movie in a heartbeat; and I think that is the case with 28 Days. The first 30 minutes are pretty chilling, especially the church scene. After that, it turned into a `shoot-em-up' that I really hoped wouldn't happen. I didn't get the whole army part. They basically were gathering survivors to get laid? That left me scratching my head. I'm not trying to turn people off from seeing this movie, but this isn't a very scary one...if that's what you are looking for.
